What is a gigapoise (GP)?

Gigapoise is a CGS unit measuring dynamic viscosity equal to 10^9 poise or 10^8 pascal-seconds.

Why convert gigapoise to millinewton second per square meter?

Converting makes viscosity data compatible across fields that use SI-related units for lower viscosity fluids.

Is millinewton second per square meter a standard unit for viscosity?

Yes, it represents dynamic viscosity commonly used in engineering and laboratory measurements.
